Chapter 4.4, Problem 2SB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The function of the central vacuole in plants.
Introduction:
The vacuoles can be found in plants, fungal cells, some of the protists, and bacterial cells. The vacuoles are filled with water, which also contains the organic and inorganic molecules. A vacuole is an enclosed compartment and resembles the lysosome present in animal cells.

Which of the following are the correct order of steps needed for guard cells to respond to ligth?
Select one:
O a. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and open
O b. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump potassium and chloride out, water follows the ions out(lower water
potential), guard cells lose water and close
O c. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons out, protons escort chloride ions in, water follows the ions (lower
water potential), guard cells become turgid and open
O d. Light hits guard cells, guard cells actively pump protons in, water follows the protons (lower water potential and
concentration gradient), guard cells become turgid and close
